Tattoos

I dislike them. Occasionally, I'll see a striking sleeve, but in general I find them ironic: People who want to show off their originality don't follow the crowd and everyone in the crowd has a tattoo.

Lmao what? Following a crowd means you do everything they do personally ive never seen two tattoos that are alike.

Definitely have two for sure tats planned out. I am a lifelong video gamer and plan on getting a few things from the older Zelda games tattooed on me.
Waiting till im a lot more lean before I get any tats though.

\w/ fudge ya!

I'm getting one when I can afford one from the artist I want.
African Wild Dog on my hip.

I've got the ones you can see in my profile pic, plus a pin-up girl on my thigh.

I'm thinking about getting wings on my feet/ankles after I finish my marathon in October.

have them (14) and always want more!! (and love to have friends with them!)

you can see most of mine in my profile pic

Was just thinking about this the other day as one of my rewards... thinking at the half-way mark I will get my 3rd to inspire myself to keep going and to let myself show how far I've come. Unsure what I want as yet, but I know it has to be able to be hidden in my workplace (I've got one on the back of my neck and one on the side of my foot).

I've got some time to think about it

mmmmmmmmm men with ink! lol

i have seven (so far) and there are pictures of a few of them on my profile.

1. pink zebra garter around right thigh. this was my first tattoo and i started it in february 2008. it was a total impulse move and it represents that i am a little wild. the pink ribbon is because my mother is a breast cancer survivor. i had the lace re-done in february 2011.

2. chickie coming out of an egg on my left hip/bikini area. this was done by an apprentice for $20 in my dorm room. my childhood nickname is chickie because when i was born, i was smaller than a cornish hen. i may eventually cover it with a rose because it looks exactly like a $20 tattoo done by an apprentice, lol.

3. honeycomb heart chakra on my sternum. my best friend has a matching tattoo on the side of her rib cage. it commemorates our first acid trip. the heart chakra also represents lust, fraud, indecision, repentance, hope, anxiety, longing, impartiality, arrogance, incompetence, discrimination and defiance. we got this done during the weekend of her 18th birthday. this was my most painful.

4. &? in the shape of a heart, partially covered with paisley on my head behind my right ear. ever talk to a cat or dog and they tilt their head and look at you like, "and?" ... that's the explanation for this one! it's behind the right ear for good news and i got it on new year's eve a few years ago. this was my least painful.

5. nyc subway train coming off the tracks with death cab for cutie lyrics, "still moving regardless of stable ground" in a pink ribbon. it is a reminder to continue moving forward despite the circumstances. this is on my left calf and it was a present to myself for graduating college.

6. map outline of long island showing the borders for brooklyn, queens, nassau, and suffolk counties. this is on the inside of my right ankle, my boyfriend has it on the inside of his left ankle, and my friend with the matching heart chakra has it on her shoulder but without the county lines.

7. carousel horse with joni mitchell lyrics, "we're captive on the carousel of time" in another pink ribbon. my mother used to sing "circle game" to me when i was a child, and it always stuck with me. everything is circles and cycles. this tattoo is my most recent, i got it on my 23rd birthday (last december) and it was a reward to myself for losing weight.


personally, i have found that my tattoos have not "warped" with weight gains or losses, however i will say that the train on my left calf was done when i was heavier and bothered me a lot less than the one i got on my right calf after losing 30 pounds.

I have four, and am planning a fifth which is a full back piece, a tree I designed years ago. If I ever lose all of the weight I want, there'll be a fifth, which will be a geisha that decorates the full of my left hip.

What I have right now:

1) A First Nations-Inspired (Native Art Insired, for our neighbours in the South) butterfly that I designed when I was 15. It's on my lower back.
2) An Alpha/Omega that I got when I turned 22. It's upper back, just below my neck.
3) A tattoo in ancient greek text which reads: "Freedom through submission, power through trust, love through faith"
4) My medic-alert tattoo on my left wrist.

I love my tattoos. Technically, I have three, but one has turned into a half sleeve of sorts. Just added to it for a graduation gift from my husband. ♥

I have 15 of them, and will be getting more.

Four here. Celtic cross on right shoulder, some tribal-design-looking heart with my wife's initials on left side of my chest (don't know what it actually is, I was drunk and in Panama), and "honor"/ "trust" on biceps. Don't know when, but I'm probably going to add some Hermes wings on my calves (runner's tat).

Have not got one yet but want to get a John Deere Tractor in memory of my dad

i currently am working on a full body vine from my right foot up to my right shoulder. and i have others and want more!
